A serial console would be much easier if you've got another system with
a serial port.  Whilst the backtrace is a start, you've left out the
actual panic message and associated register dump.  Is it a 'panic'
or some sort of trap?  I don't quickly see call to panic() in probedone().

Whilst you're at it, if you have a debug kernel, can you try running
kgdb on it and "list *0xZZZZZZZZ" where ZZZZZZZZ is the eip value
listed in the kernel trap message (if any) [not the 'trap 0x1' in the
backtrace].

Are you dumping to an ATA or SCSI disk?  If the latter, it's possible that
the panic has upset the CAM subsystem (though this isn't supposed to happen).
